Advantages: Loads of ideas to get you writing.

Disadvantages: Payment can be a bit slow.

I subscribe to several poetry magazine, but Poetry Now (ISSN 0969-4005) is undoubtedly my favourite. It is well produced, reasonably priced, enjoyable to read and pays for all material with a free copy of the magazine PLUS either cash or a recent Poetry Now anthology.
The magazine is a quarterly production (Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter), and has a wealth of information for writers, from articles to competitions to details of writer's groups.
If you are suffering from writers block, or even if you just enjoy challenges, Poetry Now has all these different things to get your creative juices flowing;

Portraits in Verse, write a poem inspired by a photo, £5 for each one published,
